The diagonals of a rhombus are 8 cm and 15 cm. Find its side.

Open in App
Solution

Given, AC = 15 cm, BD = 8 cm.

Since, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90, therefore in the ΔAOB, we have
AB2=OA2+OB2AB2=(152)2+(82)2=(7.5)2+(4)2=56.25+16AB2=72.25AB=72.25AB=8.5 cm
Since it is a rhombus, the length of each side is 8.5 cm.
